“Filling the gaps. Taking place after Halo2 and before Halo 3 ;that means there is no master chief in this game.
You instead play as ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) also refereed to as 'Hell Jumpers', the main ODST in this game is you, the Rookie, but don't worry you'll be able to play as them all.
You find a new alien created by the forerunners that have been captured and used by the covenant, these strange creatures can be your best friend and it is wise not to not get too close to some (covenant left surprise on some that react with human signatures at close distances).”

“Without ODST man, there would be no MasterChief.. Without MasterChief, there would be no Halo Reach. PLAY HALO REACH.”

“To be honest, I rented this title, missing out on the “Reach” beta but, whatever. This was partly due to the fact that when “ODST” first came out I fell for what the reviewers were telling me; “ODST is little more than an add-on to Halo 3.” Given that I was so very over playing “Halo 3” I thought I wouldn’t bother. Don’t make my mistake, if you’ve put off playing it because you didn’t want “Halo 3.5” stop being a fool and rent the damn thing. If you’re looking to 100% the achievements, however, bear in mind that a couple of the achievements (e.g. Vidmasters: Endure and Déjà vu to be precise) require a 4-player co-op which can be difficult to come by given the age of the game and the need to schedule with other like-minded individuals.

It’s a fun little game that had the potential to really rival others in its franchise but, due to some poor choices in the setting and characters, it comes off as a bit childish and outdated. Definitely worth a rent for the “Halo” fan-boys, maybe a straight up purchase if you can find it used. It was a blast to play and set the stage for the much more refined “Halo: Reach.”
